The property itself is older and starting to show signs of being kinda run down looking. You are also right in the middle of downtown, so not the safest feeling neighborhood. We did not get the chance to check out the pool, but they said they had one. The bed was comfortable and the was plety of space in the room. The air-conditioning worked great. The staff was friendly, but needed to be reminded twice that we asked for extra pillows and towels, took a few hours before we got them. Overall not too bad for the cost.

2 days before the check-in, the hotel called me to say they are cancelling the reservation because Expedia over booked their hotel. We had to cancel the trip itself because all other hotels were booked / overly expensive by then.

This place is a gem if you are looking for cheap

This place has the worse customer reviews. But overall I don't mind the place. It is a bit dirty and grungy. But very functional. I have a full size kitchen with toaster and coffee maker and a legitimate oven with cooktop. Full size fridge. The pool out back is kept clean and looks fairly nice. There are BBQs onsite as well. Overall good place for the money spent.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
We stayed for four nights and were extremely disappointed. There were bugs on the bed, the TV and lamp didn't work, there were no essential kitchen utensils like a cutting board or spatula, and the shower was a weak trickle of water at best. Most unacceptably, despite obviously knowing the length of our stay, there was nobody in the office on the day we checked out. We had to call the staff and even then, sat for nearly two hours, past noon, for someone to finally come into office to return our cash deposit, seriously affecting our subsequent trip. Having lived in Canada for nearly three decades now, this is by far the worst hotel/motel experience I have ever encountered. I will not recommend this place to anybody!

The place looks good when you pull in but it’s a bit sketchy when you look closer,, long term low income tenants live there too, some ok ppl, but some make you remember to lock everything up in the parking lot. They had a pool…it was pretty uncared for and dirty, we actually cleaned it up a bit before going for a swim. Area is within walking distance of lots of things. It’s not a horrible place, but it’s not a great place either. Middle of the road verging on dicey
